Vanilla Apple Cupcakes with Apple Cider Buttercream Frosting

Fall is definitely in the air – the apples are beginning to ripen, there is a brisk bite to the morning air, the kids are back in school. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. I’ve always loved visiting the cider mills in the country and these Vanilla Apple Cupcakes with Apple Cider Buttercream Frosting remind me so much of a fall day watching the cider press in action.

The cupcakes look delicious! I was wondering what kind of apple cider you used and if you put the diced apples in those cupcakes? If so, are the apples cooked through with the time allowed to bake the cake? Thank you.

Made these and my daughter ate half of them before I could frost them! Actually I made them with caramel cake mix because that’s what I had on hand, but the next batch (since I have all the leftover frosting) will be with white mix so we can compare. Everyone in the house loves them–thanks for a great recipe!

These look amazing! I’ve never thought to make an apple based cupcake! Pinning. I’d love if you would share this and any other posts you’d like at our Best of the Weekend party that went live last night!

Hi,
My daughter and I just used your frosting recipe for her pumpkin cupcakes. She says the icing is too sweet for her. What do you recommend we do to make it less sweet? She wants to make them for a school event later this month.
